lyrics

Baby rattlesnake
Deadly adorable
Orphan left to face
A world so poor and cruel

Cautiously you slink
Across the desert plains
With just your instinct
And venom in your veins

And if anyone asks your name
You just flash them fangs

Little rattlesnake
You got a lot to learn
These days, what’s real and what’s fake
Ain’t easy to discern

Pause before you strike
To patiently assay
Measuring the bite
According to the prey

And always wait ‘til they’re within range
‘Fore you flash them fangs

Child, you may be slight
But your bite
Is as lethal as anything

And the eagle circling overhead
Who’d just as soon see you dead
One day he’s gonna feel your sting

And I know you feel alone
And afraid
Nestled there in the shade
Just know it’s gonna be OK

Baby rattlesnake
Coiled up behind a stone
Someday you will shake
A rattle of your own

But don’t be misled
By those who rattle on
Taking for granted
The grounds they battle on

Besides, a rattle won’t make a change
No, a rattle won’t make a change
You gotta use them fangs
